Axial and Membrane Current in the Core-Conductor Model

This week we will examine axial and transmembrane currents within and around the tissue structure: including how these currents are determined by transmembrane voltages from site to site within the tissue, at each moment. The learning objectives for this week are: (1) Select the characteristics that distinguish core-conductor from other models; (2) Identify the differences between axial and trans-membrane currents; (3) Given a list of trans-membrane potentials, decide where axial andtrans-menbrane currents can be found; (4) Compute axial currents in multiple fiber segments from trans-membrane potentials and fiber parameters; (5) Compute membrane currents at multiple sites from trans-mebrane potentials.
